The following provides information regarding Victorian Primary School Sports Association Hockey trials and competition. This competition is run by the education department and seeks to select a team of hockey players to represent Victoria in a National Primary School competition. The schools competition is completely separate from the normal club competition and there is no restriction to participating in both.
Yarra Valley Hockey Club has a proud tradition of having members selected for the schools competition and we would love to see that tradition continue. Even if you are in Year 7 you can still participate provided you were born in one of the years above.
Should you wish to try out (and it's a fantastic experience just to trial) please follow the steps below:
-
If in Grade 4, 5, or 6, go to page 111 and download the application form.
-
If in Grade 7, go to page 114 and download the application form.
-
Take the completed form to your school sports co-ordinator ASAP and advise you want to be considered to represent your school's district. District nominations are required by the zone co-ordinator by 25 March.
-
If your sports co-ordination requires more information, they need to contact the Hockey Convenor, Annette Stott at Ivanhoe Primary School as follows: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it (details on page 7 of handbook).
-
Should you progress through the trials and get selected in the final team, the national competition will be run from the 8-13 of August on the Gold Coast in Queensland.
(this is a very large document so it will take a while).
GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN!
